Summer 2020: When healthy, the top positional prospect is 3B Jeff Heinrich (South Carolina). At 6-foot, 205 pounds he is built more like a college wrestler than baseball player. With this strength he has some stiffness and has been susceptible to muscle strains. Although he has improved his flexibility since last summer, he’s muscle bound and there is more work to do. In the batter’s box he shows near 70-grade raw power in batting practice and produces consistent hard contact during games. He currently leads the team in batting average (.339) slugging (.589) and RBI (16). He’s also an above average runner with plus arm strength. Heinrich has top five round potential if he can remain healthy throughout the course of the 2021 spring season.

At the plate, quiet, simple swing, strong, loose hands, advanced bat strength and hard line-drive contact. Defensively, profiles at third base. Natural infield actions, soft hands and strong accurate arm. High-follow right-handed hitter.
